Safety Information
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.
Laser Safety Information
CAUTION:
This product may contain a CD-ROM which is a class 1 laser product.
Laser Compliance
All Lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR
Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in
compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the
label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to
laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance,
or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain
equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at
greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an
optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should
perform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.

Handling the 4.7GB SCSI-2 DVD-RAM Drive
Attention: Static electricity can damage your equipment. Leave the 4.7GB SCSI-2
DVD-RAM Drive in its bag until you are ready to install it in your system unit.
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Take the following precautions whenever you handle the 4.7GB SCSI-2 DVD-RAM
Drive or other static-sensitive devices:
vUse an anti-static wrist strap if you have one.
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
vHold the drive carefully by its frame or edges. Avoid touching solder joints, pins, or
other printed circuitry.
vDo not place the drive on the system unit cover or on a metal table. If you must set it
aside, put it back into its bag.
vBe very careful when you handle the drive during cold weather, as low humidity and
heating increase static electricity.
